I run 110 ft/lbs using oil, doesn't matter what kind of gasket. Although I run a Mitsu metal hg with copper spray. Haven't blown a gasket yet.

Just curious what you mean by "using oil". Are you putting oil on the threads and then torqueing it down? Just wondering how much room from the end of the bolt to the bottom of the threaded hole. The reason why I ask is, would there be a possibility of cracking the block with oil in the holes? We run into this problem at work from time to time when someone spins a bolt in when there is some liquid in the hole. Oil is non-compressable.
I'm not trying to call you dumb or anything like that, Steve, I'm just trying to get an understanding about it. Any info I can get now will help when I need to rebuild mine. I always crave knowledge, but I like to know reasons as well so I know I'm doing the right thing.
Thanks.
